Edward-Cullen.net has a new interview up with indie author V.J. Chambers, who wrote Breathless. She mentions Twilight
Q: I remember when you first added me on Myspace, you said that I would probably like Breathless because I liked Twilight. (And, you were right!) Why do you think Twilight fans will like your story?
A: It’s funny, because on the surface, Breathless isn’t a lot like Twilight. After all, there aren’t any vampires. I think, and this is difficult to be sure of, that I knew when I wrote Breathless that I wanted to try to create a story that “felt” like Twilight. I wanted to write a story about desperation and forbidden love and intrigue and suspense and the kind of romance that is just so intense, it swallows you.
I’m not sure if I did that, but for me, Breathless was always connected to Twilight in some ways. I wrote it a gallop after watching the Twilight movie, because something within the story made me want to tell a story of my own like that.
Sometimes I worry that the comparison doesn’t really fit and that Twilight fans will be disappointed because of the lack of vampires or the lack of werewolves or even the lack of sparkling. But so far, the response to the book has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m flattered and grateful.
